Then the devotee who is endowed with discrimination,
who is detached (from mundane life), who is of pure mind
and who is desirous of knowing Śiva, the destroyer of all
blemishes of transmigration, (1) approaches Śrīguru who is
well known in the world, who is free from avarice and delusion,
who cherishes the knowledge of the principle of Self, who is
bereft of perplexity about sense - objects, (2) who knows the
principles of Śaiva doctrine, who has his doubts and confusions
completely cut off, who is well-versed in all the practices of
Āgamas, who is pious, who is truthful, (3) whose religious
practices are as handed down by family heritage, who is totally
free from the practices of prohibited paths, who is intent on
meditation on Śiva, who is tranquil, who has the discrimina-
tive awareness of the principle of Śiva, (4) who is adept in
smearing himself with holy ash (Bhasma), who has the clear
knowledge of the principle of Bhasma, who is eager to apply
‘tripuṇḍra’, who has put on the garlands of beads (Rudrākṣa),
(5) who has borne the Liṅga, who is devoted to the worship
of the Liṅga, who has the knowledge of the principle of
communion between Liṅga (Śiva) and Aṅga (Jīva), who has
the impression of monism firmly rooted in him, (6) who knows
the distinction between Liṅgasthala and Aṅgasthala and who
advocates about Śiva.
It is said here that having thus aproached the noble
Guru, service should be rendered to him —
